Dave Kindred is among the greatest living chroniclers of sports. But as he looks back on his life, it's a girls' high school basketball team, the Lady Potters of Morton, Illinois, that stands apart from the rest. In this moving and intimate story, Kindred writes about his rise to professional success and the changes that brought him back to his hometown late in life. Tender and honest, Kindred's story reminds readers what sports are really about.
